Attending The Delicious Food Show In Toronto, Canada

Last week I attended the Delicious Food Show in Toronto, an interactive consumer-based tradeshow, showcasing the latest and hottest in food products, wine and spirits, restaurants, and food equipment. Two of my Martha Stewart Living at The Home Depot Kitchens were showcased at the event. My Ox Hill kitchen, which was the set of The Food Network's Celebrity Kitchen presented by The Home Depot Canada. Our exhibitor booth was my new Lacombe Avenue kitchen. The kitchen launched in June at The Home Depot Canada and this was the first time the kitchen has ever been shown in Canada. It is beautiful! At the Delicious Food Show, I also presented three recipes from my newest book, Martha Stewart's Cakes, in a cooking demonstration, anddid a book signing for the show's guests.

14 I was fascinated by this Urban Cultivator, an indoor garden that provides 18 hours of sunlight a day. Growing in a pure environment, you get the freshest herbs and greens - perfect for your home or restaurant. http://www.urbancultivator.net/

16 There were all sorts of wonderful sausages and salamis at Superior Meats.

39 This was the crowd at my cooking demo. There were over 1,000 people there!

41 Decorating expert, Karl Lohnes, styled my greenroom for me. He did a great job of recreated our NYC offices in the Better Living Center. I was so impressed!

42 He even included a wall of windows with the same view of what we see looking east.

43 This wall included beautiful images of the different Martha Stewart Living kitchen styles available at The Home Depot.

45 Here I am with Megan Schroeder - Divisional Product Merchant at The Home Depot Canada, Bill Lennie - President of The Home Depot Canada, and Peg Hunter - Vice President, Marketing & ecommerce The Home Depot Canada.

46 This woman's name was also Martha Stewart!

47 Towards the end of the day, I signed copies of my newest book, Martha Stewart's Cakes. The line was very long!

50 On Friday, we had a Persian lunch at Takht-e Tavoos. This is dizi sanghi, a two-part stew. Broth is decanted into a soup bowl and lamb and vegetables come in a dizi pot with a long metal pestle for mashing. The mashed stew is eaten on flatbread with yogurt and pickled vegetables. The broth is sopped up with bread. Many flavors and textures and utterly delicious!

51 At Takht-e Tavoos, they serve a variety of spinach and egg dishes. I had my eggs served sunny side up.
